Motherwell manager Mark McGhee has spoken highly of Celtic forward Moussa Dembele to The Scottish Sun.

Dembele joined Celtic in the summer transfer window after leaving English club Fulham at the end of the 2015-16 season.

The 20-year-old forward has been in superb form for the Bhoys so far this season and has been scoring goals for fun, both in the Scottish Premiership and in the Champions League.

As stated on Celtic’s official website, the France Under-21 international has scored 12 goals in 17 appearances in all competitions so far this campaign.

Dembele is likely to feature for Celtic this weekend when Brendan Rodgers’s side return to action after the international break.

The Glasgow giants will take on Motherwell at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.

Ahead of the match, Motherwell manager McGhee has praised Dembele and has suggested that his team are prepared for him.

“I was at the Manchester City game and Moussa Dembele was unplayable against those guys, he was sensational,” McGhee told The Scottish Sun.

“So we have to prepare ourselves. He’s a good player becoming a great player. He’s only a young lad, but we know we have to do well to stop him.”

Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 19 points from seven matches.

The Bhoys are four points clear of second-placed Aberdeen and have a game in hand.
